Otters in Shetland July 2014, some pics from this season

Its been a very summer for otter watching tours for me and an extremely busy season over all, hence the lack of time posting. Here is just a short selection of some images from through the last few months. Again this season I have been very thankful to also have Gary Bell and Richard Shucksmith lead tours as colleagues who have helped try to keep up with demand. Having Molly Michelin, a photography student at Falmouth university working with us for a second season has been a huge help too and she too has led tours, and with a 100% success rate too! Nice work Moll ;)

OUR NEW OTTER BOOK- OUT NOW!

Welcome to my otter watching blog

Watching and photographing otters in Shetland is undoubtedly one of my main passions in life, second only to my family.
Since my first real memories of encounters with otters at eight years old, I have been studying Shetlands otters for almost thirty years now. I have enjoyed featuring on several TV documentaries to share my passion and local knowledge of otters here in The Shetland Isles.
I hope that through this blog fellow otter lovers and naturalists can share encounters and images from the otters I study through out the year.
